What Muslims are effectively facing now is a new form of concerted, deliberate economic marginalisation through blatant lies linking the community to the virus.
The 'night of forgiveness' is marked by Muslims visiting graveyards and mosques to pray for the deceased. But Delhi streets wore a deserted look Wednesday.
The police and Muslim community leaders have joined hands to issue appeals to people to pray at home and not come out for the celebration of Shab-e-Barat.
About 80 serving & retired officers have urged Muslims to practice social distancing, and cited the Quran to say courting disease through negligence is a 'sin'.
The Tablighi Jamaat congregation at Nizamuddin would concern any country. But PM Modi must immediately rein in his media and social media supporters communalising it.
Tablighi Jamaat is an Islamic religious reform movement. It has emerged as one of the most dominant forms of religiosity in postcolonial India, writes Hilal Ahmed in his book Siyasi Muslims.
The act of marking carries historical baggage. If India wants to mark those infected with coronavirus, it must think of sensible ways that don’t outlive the crisis.
Israel's response to Iran's retaliatory attack was relatively small and also downplayed by Tehran. But there are factors that could jeopardise this perceived reprieve.
The 125 APAs include 86 Unilateral APAs (UAPAs) and 39 Bilateral APAs (BAPAs). The total number of APAs since the start of the APA programme has risen to 641, with 506 UAPAs and 135 BAPAs.
The economic and social boycott of Muslims is not new and has been practised in parts from hundreds of years. Has any boycott of any community succeeded anywhere. No.
A few lakhs will always think that if they boycott Muslims, the community will surrender and perish. Wishful and foolish thinking is all I can say. There will always be more Hindus who belive in Hinduism than Hindutva. Till then, India is as safe as a moated Fort.
bro,first tell ur youth to behave in a responsible manner,,there r many tiktok videos of ur youth,,where they propagate againt safety precautions for covid (where they even purposely hug each other in videos),,u elders r silent when some of ur community guys do any wrongdoings,,but when another community criticizes for their behaviour,,u will cry foul that we r minorities & Islamophobia is rising ,and other such bullshit,,i too know that all muslims r not bad,infact i have many muslim friends who r very kind-hearted ,, it’s only becaz of some miscreants that u have to take all the blame,,but u guys even don’t give a shit or teach ur youth/others when they do mistakes , that’s the problem !!!!!
Peaceful and Moderate Muslims/Islam is a MYTH!! In a country where Muslims become majority, they start bringing death and destruction to the host nation and start ethnic cleansing!!
Is not this the same what Muhammad did to the early Meccans? When he was weak, he uttered some verses which praised the pagan gods (the satanic verses) to make the Meccans happy. But when he became
powerful his darker side began to emerge and the Qur’anic verses started losing their beauty. Once he conquered Mecca, he showed his true color to everyone – either convert or die by the sword!!
Though the concerned governments spend in billions to protect their citizens from Islamic jihadist, the policy-makers & citizens fail to see that moderate Muslims are radicals too doing Jihad in civil society!! They are making the same mistake what the early Meccans did.
They realize the impact of radical Islam but fail to pay attention to moderate Islam. Little do they understand that this so-called moderate Islam is much more dangerous than the radical Islam because it grows and silently kills the host!!
Why muslims need help when Allah will help them always and Muslims please say inshallah like the pakistanis and all your problems will be solved. Inshallaha.
We know what has Islam has done To Hindus & others In India & the world!! There is always a reaction much more powerful than the action!! It’s better to be human because EVIL & looting will ultimately have to be paid back!!
i do not know about muslims – definitely this author needs to be pushed out of his job for suggesting this kind of baloney
Firstly what do you think of halal economy. Earlier it was only the food now it is being applied even to flats
You can find muslim societies /colonies in every city town. Who asked them to live only in herds. Is it tribal syndrome.
Who has barred them from education formal or professional.
Who has told them to increase their population without giving priority to better civic amenities.
Who have asked them to prioritize religion over good life.
Who have asked them to keep spitting over food items, involving in illegal activities.
Even in Muslims why bohra, ahmediyas & shias are in better positions.
They never gave importance to formal jobs, New professions, small family.
All the huge funds provided by middle eastern countries are utilized in radicalization, conversion and non fruitful activities like jamat does.
It’s been decades that they live in ghettos or no go zone in urban areas to carry out there hideous acts.
Lastly who have been taught that do not mingle with unbelievers, kill them, convert them for darul haram,
Honestly, I thought that right-minded Muslims will make amend after CAA agitation but unfortunately, they have been or they have chosen to keep silent over Tablighi Jammat issue, violence in many places and misbehaviour with health staff has done no good to the Muslim community and we are seeing results in our social fabric now. They are to be blamed for their plight and its time for them to carry out introspection.
This is nothing but playing the victim card and giving covering fire to the jihadis. What’s new, except that we are finally seeing through this game.
@R J – Spot on!! This EVIL game of Muslims and dance of death of this horrendous inhuman ideology must end in Hindustan & the sub continent!!
Victim alert.
Muslims are defying lockdown under pretense of prayers and spreading corona.
Spitting on doctors, medical staff, notes to vegetables all Indians have seen their action and mentality.
The contempt and defiance shown by regular Muslims towards India, Indians and indianess, in this hour of crisis has fully exposed the communal, radical and jihadi underbelly of regular muslims.
On TV, media they play victim, blame everyone & everything and on the ground burn the whole country down.
Enough of this treachery, conceit and doublespeak.
In economic and socio bahiskar, Indians have found the right tool.
I’m disappointed with Shekhar Gupta. I see a pattern here. While he himself is very objective and fair, he lets people like this author and many others (like Shivam Vij) do the dirty, hate-mongering, divisive work. If The Print gives platform for hate spreading articles like this, Shekhar Gupta will not only lose respect and readership but also will be doing a gross disservice to the nation, and to the noble profession that fed and clothed him.
Gupta can’t dismiss this article as someone’s personal views. It is obnoxious, one-sided, full of unsubstantiated claims.
To continue, in another recent article, Taslima Nasreen called all believers in God “Idiots”. No respectable publication would have published such an offensive article.
If Nasreen doesn’t apologise, Shekhar Gupta should.
I don’t agree with Taslima Nasreen on many things, but I guess in this case she is right.
M RAMESH – Taslima Nasreen is absolutely right!! Any obstinate belief in anything which you don’t really know or haven’t seen is at best stupid!!
This is especially true if you kill or do EVIL in the name of god which Islam & Muslims do all the time!! What is that god which asked Muslims to kill tens of millions of Hindus in Pakistan/Bangladesh as also in Kashmir, west Bengal or Kerala??!!
That doesn’t mean that spiritual awakening or mediation is a myth!!
For the record, I have been anti Modi and anti hindutva for a long time, and have fought with a lot of friends and lost a few in the process.
The article makes sense and the numbers are right. However, the author conveniently forgets to answer why muslims still lag in various sectors of the economy and national life.
What has stopped muslims from educating themselves and integrating themselves in Indian society?. Sure there are lot of hurdles in our society, but the same is true for lot of people, and i have seen a lot of people who are non-brahmins, from villages from lower cases come up and establish themselves. It is so much so that, it is difficult to get people for agriculture labour, as the traditional people who used to do this, have moved on to better lives!. So why not muslims? Has the state stopped providing them education and other amenities that is available to other disadvantaged class?. Are muslims, blatantly failed in schools and colleges, or ignored or marginalized in public and private sector jobs?. Request the author to pull up this data and analyze and he would know the reasons. But let me tell you , what we can plainly see happening, which you so conveniently ignore.
The muslim society in general, and the clergy in particular, inspired by various sects like the jamaat, and others sponsored from the middle east are only interested in increasing there political power and increasing there political reach among Muslims in particular and imposing there idealogy on the rest of the world.. This is done through scaring muslims into a contest of who is the most devout muslim and that everybody else is there go get them and make them into a unholy person. And for the rest of the world, this is done in a veil of secularism, oil money andusing the greed of western powers.
There is no effort and intent put by the muslim society in general into education, personal development, socio-cultural pursuits or any other aspect of life. This comes from blindly believing and being fed that what the religion prescribes is all that is needed and required to meet god or go to heaven. I am putting this pretty crudely, but basically that is what it is. Even educated muslims, i have come across, do not put any effort towards analyzing there thoughts, actions and the reasons of various aspects of there religion. Any analysis or questioning by others is a taboo will be called blasphemy and will warrant a fatwa of the nastier kind!.
So, as bad as hindutva is, you have to realize it is an outcome and a reactive movement originating to counter a monotheistic, rigid and self-aggrandizing part of our society. You have to address the later to tackle the former.
Food for thought, Only after Mr Modi came to power, i have seen muslims holding placards of secularism and coming out en mass, have they done this any other time for any other cause which is remotely secular or liberal. Have muslims accepted a change to there inherent customs and beliefs like other religions have done?
Please think, blaming congress and other parties for there lack of coherent opposition will not help. If you really want a country that lives up to our constitution, all people have to change. It is a pity that all the so called liberal and secular media like print and scroll take time and make it there calling to print injustice done to minorities, which no doubt should be done. But, your reporting is blind to the causes, especially the intolerance( to thought, speech and criticism , plain medieval ghetto thinking and inequality existing in the minority community. This is doing them and the nation more harm than good.
@nas – I wasn’t pro BJP or Modi ji. I lived in Europe for a long time and I used to argue with my Hindu friends that perhaps social deprivation was the cause of Muslim stubbornness & radicalization!
This was till I resettled in India & saw the Hypocrisy & evil of the Muslim ideology and their blatant, almost zombie like support of their cult!!
Then I realized I was a Hindu from the Mahabharata and NOT from India of the Black British!! I analyzed Islam & Muslims, their greed & lust for power & resources disguised as religion, the same patterns of Muslim violence & victim-hood in every part of the world…
I concluded, the only thing wrong in India/Hindus was the tolerance for this intolerant & hateful bunch of liars, killers of Hindus & the Hindu kush!!
The only thing i do not agree with is the innocence of Muslims, in your article.
This article is not any different from what other articles published by Muslim groups trying to prove the muslims are victimised. It’s actually other way around. Their writers likeAsim Ali and others bring fear to their comunity to come on the road against Indian peaceful people. Asim and Owasi type selfish leaders are always want muslims to agitate instead live like peaceful people. Existing muslims, alltypes, to get up and demand impossible demands like another country in India. All kind of shameless demands like separate ghettos for Muslim vendors. Most are skilled for three wheelers and selling fruit and vegetables and praying half a day. Owasi type want gazeted jobs for them. BIG TROUBLE BREWERS. Then come mullas teaching them to defy law &&&*
1. If it is said that interests of the Muslim community in our country must be protected, question is whose responsibility is it? I say that let everyone be clear about a basic truth, which is that secularism will succeed in our country only by protecting interests of all communities and not by appeasing the minority vote banks. 2. If what author of this article says is true, it is obvious that our political leadership cannot protect interest of the vast number of poor Muslims because this section of our society has been used by greedy politicians in vote-bank politics. 3. No big research is required to support what I have said. Just a cursory glance at the economic conditions of the huge number of poor Muslims in States like Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Maharashtra, Jharkhand, etc., is good enough to prove my statement. 4. I think that our political leaders, irrespective of their political affiliation, have to ensure that all the poor whether Hindus, Muslims, or of other religion, get equal opportunities to increase income and thus make economic/social progress. That will make our society more equitable. 5. My incidental observation is that the Muslim leadership in India has vested interest in ensuring that all poor Muslims, particularly women are not exposed to modern education and democratic practices. While on one hand, the poor in Muslim community have remained poor and uneducated, on the other hand Muslim leaders belonging to Congress and regional parties like BSP, SP, JD(S), NCP, etc., have amassed wealth. This is a very unhappy scenario which must be challenged by the Muslim community.
You are writing all the statistics of low employment in government jobs like it is government’s job to give muslims jobs on their plate. If muslims can clear UPSC or railway board exams who can stop them from getting into IAS, IFS etc. The low level of education in Muslim community is creating problems for the community and country at large. We have seen enough videos of how peaceful muslims were during delhi riots and for that matter all riots. Every time there are riots it is the muslims who are the victims like they were peacefully doing dharna without lifting a finger and were attacked for no reason.
I work with many muslims and also give employment to many muslims. Like in any community, not all are bad. But people like you should stop making muslims self pity themselves and stop writing stupid articles. The level of freedom muslims enjoy in India is unlike any other country. So stop this self pitying bullshit. Urge your community to increase their education levels. Uniform civil code should be implemented. Dont care for laws of each individual religion. Modi government needs to implement it ASAP along with some very strict population control measures for the entire country.
Dont know how morons like you get to write article in the Print.
Irresponsible article. Don’t blame Hindu community or BJP for where Muslims are today. Why didn’t Muslims attain high level of prosperity before 2014? Don’t you realize that you have been consistently cheated by your own leaders and those in power all these days? It’s mischievous to suggest that Kashmir and CAA are against Muslims. And to suggest that Muslims have been kept out of formal sector jobs is outrageous.
On the flipside, why don’t you introspect and see if what you have been doing wouldn’t provoke a reaction? Just Google up ‘massacres in India’ and see the Wickipedia post. Modi didn’t write it. How much we have suffered at Muslims hands?
Yet, we should not profile a community. Majority of today’s Indian Muslims are noble people. I’m all for inclusive development. My pt is, if there are sporadic instances of wrong doings against Muslims, (a) don’t generalize it (b) understand that Hindus are a wounded civilization.
I can say this apatheid has already started happening. Can be confirmed via various media reports of assaults and discrimination in recent times.
For anyone asking that this article is creating division. No this is just pointing to the reality( maybe ahead of time bcz not many people can relate to this or maybe the majority has already been brainwashed). Media as well as social media has already done a wonderful job in popularising these notions that muslims are spreading coronavirus by showing fake videos of street vendor licking fruits, or train incident etc. ( Actually it is an attempt to paint them barbaric and someone who doesn’t care for his life and is ready to kill as many as even if they have to sacrifice themselves, not my point, they think like this.)
I live in a village in Bihar and I can say that this has started happening. People here watch those news channels and their mind is so much subverted that they even want to punish them by shooting them or giving them poison through injection.( I am not making this up, In conversation with many people this was the argument).
Ye ek din main nhi hua h. Ye jo salo se jo media mein chala aa rha h usika long term result h. If u want to hold anyone responsible, hold those media houses and journalist responsible. Politician can’t do anything if they don’t have journalist support (not at this mass level).
Also most of the comment only proves authors point.
@Satyam Sharma:
Blaming media for everything is an Global pastime.
We all get what we deserve- when we put up with uninformed anchors /reporters Broadcasting low quality information we get more of it.
On the subject of the TJs spreading Corona, it is unforgivable.
In recent times I have seen several social media postings by Indian Mullahs and preachers threats to media, reporters and news people.
They are doing this if their own free will.
If they feel the media is biased, why worsen it by baiting them.
I feel sorry for India’s Muslims – poor, unwilling to get an education, trapped in practices from a millennium ago; practices that even Muslim majority countries like Saudi Arabia have abandoned.
@Satyam Sharma: Once again a Hindu proved that many Hindus like him have been made SICK-ular, identy-less, pride less with ZERO perspective of history & Islamic REALITY!! Unless you are a Muslim, cheating using Taqiya as always, you can’t be more WRONG!!
In case, apartheid has already started happening then I must say it isn’t strong enough!! After all, Islam has apartheid built in their evil ideology and they treat non Muslims especially Hindus as animals to be killed!! This is Islamic history against Hindus which proves it again & again but Hindus aren’t hurt or are they??!
If Gandhi failed to win over hearts of Islamist’s tho he laid down his life for them, Indians & Hindus won’t succeed either!! Hindu pampering of Muslims is taken as sign of #Dhimmitude, not greatness. They spit at Hindus with the same old Islamic expectation!!
Islamic rulers used to say: “If silver is demanded from Hindus, they must with the greatest humility offer gold. If a Muslim desires to spit into a Hindu’s mouth, the Hindu should open it wide for the purpose”.
This actually used to happen in many places, including Kashmir under Islamic rule!! Ha!! Ha!! But be SICK-ular Hindus/Indians!! Wait! for being raped & killed by this evil ideology!!
First Please report how Halal is an excuse to push Hindus out of Formal and Informal Food sector
Absolutely!! This is discriminating in Islam & Muslims which they won’t talk nor will Print!!
Halal must be banned or at least labelled & described of what it really is with Allah & all!! Halal food also finances terrorists activities!!
Muslims are targetted because other religions have moved on, to more more modern method, leaving the past behind, and eventually religion will be a forgotten practise, but I doubt Islamists will ever come out of this age old practise, I can isee Islamists becoming more religious which is bad for society.
Hindus are boycotting Muslims, yes, because there are many videos showing Muslims spitting onto food products before selling them. So why would Hindus buy from Muslims?
Hindus are not accepting cash from Muslims, yes, because Muslims are purposefully spitting and spreading nose mucus on currency notes – there are many videos showing that. So why should any community get currency notes from Muslims?
If Muslim are getting marginalised, they are the only reason for it, not Hindus or anybody else.
Look at the al-taqqiyya practised by the author – he never once mentions these videos.
If Muslims suffer all over the world, there is one and only one reason – Muslims. Not Hindus, not Jews, not Christians, not Sikhs.
You are a major part of the problem by spreading lies! You need to wake up to reality!
Well said. Despite India being the only Hindu Home for Hindu, didn’t we say we don’t want India to be Hindu, but ‘secular’? In return, all we got was harrassment, killing, abuse of Hindu Gods, kicking Hindus out of Kashmir. When we react a little, Muslims and the stupid left liberals demonize us. Even now we are not happy if Muslims are attacked or kept out. But at least educated Muslims should understand our hurt, and not write articles like this.
Please read Dr. Ambedkar’s writings on Islam & don’t be lured By the lies & hypocrisy of these authors!! Please don’t get influenced by this community or it’s communist supporters like Print!! This has gone on for too long but Dr. Ambedkar knew their reality & so did Nehru/Gandhi!!
Let’s see.There are no easy solution.Any divisive agenda will prove disasterous for the country given the so called minority are certainly not a small minority when it comes to nos. spread right across the country.
That is WHY Dr. Ambedkar wanted total exchange of population with Pakistan!! The so called visionary leaders in the name of Gandhi/Nehru refused!!
Anyways, better to call out the bluff of this community then to be enslaved, killed & destroyed as in the past!! Either there is reform in this community so they can rectify their mistakes or.. we’ll check out the Chinese good rapport with the Ughurs!!
What a pathetic attempt to distract attention from criminal behavior of Tabligies .
What about all the people that went outside to set off fire crackers and light torches for Modi. They spread more than any religious event!
Try harder. None of the idiots who were lighting fire crackers spread the virus to the extent the Tablighi Jammat followers did. Not only in India but in Pakistan, Malaysia and Indonesia as well.
Problem for people like you, Stephan, is what famous Andy Roone of sixty minutes said about people whose children have gone bad; they say” he was with bad company”.
ANDY’S COMMENT WAS :” BAD COMPANY DID NOT ROB LIQUOR STORE YOUR SON DID.”
SAME IS THE CASE HERE THE OTHER GROUPS DID NOT SPREAD VIRUS, TABLIGHI DID.
Typical tactics of Islam!! It comes right from the book!!
Very disturbed by the very extreme comments on this post,which I thaugt was an anguished appeal to all of us specially us Hindus.The Tabligh event was very bad and symptomatic of obscurantism in political Islam. But India is a pluralistic diverse country and we cannot wish away that reality. Leaders from the Muslim community must allay fears and as the PM has said we must all respond with sympathy and compassion. Healing is imperative now both physically and emotionally
And your reply is exactly that one would expect from a Hindutva!
your reply is the exact template from a follower of Abrahamic ethos
WHY won’t you call the British or Danes who formed their nations on Christianity, Christutva?? Is it more palatable??
If you say Muslim, no need to add fundamentalist!!
Who can deny the fact that the clerics and the militant community leaders are elected by these moderate Muslims?
Though the terrorism expert Daniel Pipes estimates that 10 to 15 percent of world’s Muslims support jihadist agenda; there are indications from various parts of the Islamic world that the actual number is much higher. During a terrorism finance trial in New York in February 2005, Bernard Haykel, an associate professor of Islamic studies at New York University estimated that 90 percent of the Arab Muslims support Hamas – the Islamic terrorist organization that blows up civilizations in buses and restaurants to further its goals of a Palestinian Sharia state.
Dr. Imran Waheed, the London spokesman for the international “peaceful” jihadist group Hizb ut-Tahris, confirmed in May 2005 that 99 percent of the Muslims worldwide want a caliphate to rule the world. These statistics confirm that those Muslims who support terrorism are not a tiny minority but a vast majority.
Social divide is a reality. The muslims are more to blame for this divide than Hindus. Muslims are seeking advice from Mullahs who has created a parochial outlook in muslims. The minorities in Pakistan are also suffering largely because of Mullahs. Muslims have to learn how to respect other religions. They have to be progressive in their approach and ve to follow progressive leadership. Only a leadership that believes in unity of India, respect all human beings irrespective of their caste or creed, and have progressive religious views like that of Javed Ahmed Ghamdi.
Enlightenment is only cure of problems of Muslim communities. They can live and survive in ignorance where they are in majority and not where they are in minority.
Educated , moderate, modern muslims who believe in equality of mankind, have respect for all faiths, to come forward and lead the muslim community in india.
Well this Tablighi Jamat chapter open new direction for Muslim and other Vulnerable Minority section to work on education ,and built self help mechanism.
muslim community Marginalized through continuous political and Social supremist effort ,no doubt on this but ,One Harsh reality is this also , The Educated and privileged class also turn down there face to educate and Empowering this community.
There I want to give you a reference from past , Raja Ram Mohan Roy ,The Modern man of India, his role to reform and his continuous effort leads to establish equality in Society and educated Hindu community. Even inhuman rituals like Sati banned from society because of his unrest struggle. Many other took inspiration from his teaching to contribute to empower Dalits in Indian society.
Muslim had a some Karismatic personality such as Sir Syed Ahmad Khan and Moulana Abul Kalam Azad, APJ Abul Kalam Azad, but that legacy couldn’t pass through Next generation in such manners to uplift community.
Now it great chance to learn from past event and historical ignorance. Time to stand on own foot to value themselves.
The last para equally holds good for Hindus too. Please understand two truths. (1) If we have hurt you x, we have been hurt by you 100x. (2) If you’re marginalized, not economically, socially empowered, don’t blame Hindus or BJP. Blame it on your Mullahs and Imams and on all those political parties that cheated you in the name of helping your. Jago bhai, jago! Aankhaen khol. Haqikat samjho!
Very well said. The educated and social leaders among the Muslim community need to lead the community to education, progress instead of the religious hardliners who drag them down and coach them that all non believers so called kaafirs need to be taught a lesson and if they do so, they will be abundantly rewarded. This is not how you can live as a part of community with members of other faith… you have to respect the plural culture and not hate and still expect fairness… one cant afford to be antisocial in democracy.
And please do not get played by the vested politicians as vote bank… they have no interest in betterment but their ONLY VESTED INTEREST is to instill fear and exploit for political gain…
@Sundeep: If Gandhi failed to win over hearts of Islamist’s tho he laid down his life for them, Indians & Hindus won’t succeed either!! Hindu pampering of Muslims is taken as sign of #Dhimmitude, not greatness. They spit at Hindus with the same old Islamic expectation!!
Islamic rulers used to say: “If silver is demanded from Hindus, they must with the greatest humility offer gold. If a Muslim desires to spit into a Hindu’s mouth, the Hindu should open it wide for the purpose”. This actually used to happen in many places, including Kashmir under Islamic rule!!
Ha!! Ha!! But be SICK-ular Hindus/Indians & wait for being raped & killed by this evil ideology!!
Well said. We need a new leader who commamds respect and takes society ahead. We need a leader like Abdul kalam.
The views expressed in this article lack substance and you are using your might in social media amplification to further the political agenda of the people who fund your portal. Rather than spread positivity at a time of crisis, your portal seems to be taking joy in the politicisation of your views. The pseudo liberalism is evident.
Very provocative write up when the entire country is under stress due to corona virus pandemic. When an Engineer Senior Architect in Infosys talks about spreading coronavirus which employer wants to take such risks. If it is a one in lakh case why moderate muslims didn’t condemn it?
The role Tablighi Jamat is before the country in spreading coronavirus by spitting, urinating, stone pelting n threatening health warriers. When entire country is observing social distancing by shutting religious places a section of muslim community refused to observe and persisted in attending mosques and creating chaos. Moreover certain videos were circulated wherein someone indulging in spitting on the currency notes and putting salive on vegetables nand fruits. In that case how one can expect the majority community to go and hug. Certainly it has to exercise care and caution. This misery is self inflicted by muslim community. If moderates and leaders have condemned this then they had something to argue. Rather, they became meek spectators. Added to this videos were released where moulvis were threatening both faithfuls as well as nonbelievers.
Instead of discussingthese issues the author found it easy to place blame on Hindus. If an individual, a society, a religious group or a nation wants to come up first it has to commit itself and try to sort out short comings in its ethos and working.
If the author wants to increase participation in jobs, IAS and IPS first he has to find out what they have been taught in Madrasas.
I am a Christian and when I read this, I was surprised by the article.Extremely provocative. I am however more ashamed of all the people who have commented with so much hate. I wonder why there is so much hate inside you’ll. Is that what our religion teaches us or does the word Secular in our constitution mean.You guys should be ashamed of yourselves. You’ll give every justification to the author of such an article .India is for Indians and all have every right over this land.
Commented with hate? Show me which comments have said Muslims should be marginalized, beaten, killed etc?
The comments are only saying ‘dont blame Hindus, introspect’. This, to you, is Hate? And lecture us on secularism?
First you Christians stop insulting Christ by bribing people to convert. It’s like saying ‘God’s word is not good enough, we need to tempt people with money’.
Lot of comments I see was not based on hate. It’s honestly .All of them want is one India with tight integration and with one message leave the religion at hime. Actually dalits more marginalized than Muslims.. Christian conversation is most danger to the country. Converting people using money and false promises like buying votes.
Ha!! Ha!! You better see the practices of Islam or Christianity worldwide & read Indian History!! PUT The SICK Of “secularism” in India to the dustbin of history where it belongs!! Even this word is foreign to Hindus who are inherently secular!!
Even this word “secularism” was introduced in the dead of the night by congress/Indira Gandhi during EMERGENCY violating all constitutional principles & insulting the fathers of the Indian constitution!!
Muslims paint themselves as victims/oppressed although they are the biggest killers of Hindus & Non Muslims!! See Kashmir or west Bengal or Pakistan & Bangladesh killing of Hindus/Sikhs to see how democratic & human is Islam & Muslims!! The fact is that Islam has killed more human beings than even communism & Christianity!!
Christian civilization has impoverished the planet through colonization & destroyed the planet through climate change and yet not even compensated just as the CCP Communists haven’t for the Chinese Virus or Islam for terrorism!!
Don’t teach Sanatani Hindus lessons on secularism & humanity!!
Ha!! Ha!! Christians discriminate human beings on believers & non believers like all the desert cults and thus put the seeds of HATE!!
The pope & the Church was for decades protecting the pastors who had raped little children through out the world!! Was that Xhristian love for Children or humanity??!! Hypocrite!!
You sell your Christianity like vulgar prostitutes by bribing, cheating & converting poor Hindus!! And you talk of hate?? SHAME ON YOU & YOUR CULT!!
Christian west has killed millions of Muslims!! Where is Nazi America, NYT or WAP??!! Islam has killed hundreds of millions of Christians & Hindus too!! Where is Aljazeera & the leftist media in India & abroad??
Christian civilization has impoverished the planet through colonization & destroyed the planet through climate change and yet not even compensated just as the CCP Communists haven’t for the Chinese Virus or Islam for terrorism!!
The desert cults along with the communists/China are a danger to Hindus, it’s civilization & the nation!!
One question to author who is painting victimhood, why muslims do not follow rules, follow maulvis and fatwa, have faith in ulema than with other modern things normal indians follow? Why they send their children to madrasa, have 3 wives, many children and follow diktats in name of religion?
Triple Talaq was a bane for muslim women. CAA has nothing to do with Indian Muslim’s, Article 370 was a cancer in the body of the nation. NRC? It is required to create a databse of Indian Citizens.
So, how do they apply to the picture you are trying to paint?
Now, let’s look at the statistics you quote. Why are the numbers so bad for Muslims? Weren’t they the rulers of India for close to a 1000 years before the British came along? The country does not discriminate against children for education. So why are the numbers so bad for Muslims?
Is it because of Politics or Economics? Baring the Abdhulah’s, Owaisi’s and a few others, most Muslim’s are poor. So, how come Modi’s approach of giving them economic opportunities wrong? Those approaches are making the average Muslim richer and hence better able to participate in the economuc activity of the nation.
It is fashionable to point fingers at Modi and his politics, use statistics incorrectly, and rage in a pitch high enough to drown out all other voices. That is exactly what you are doing with this article.
Now, come to those morons, Hindus or otherwise, who are “banning” Muslim’s in the wake of the COVID19 and the Nizamuddin fiasco. Arrest them. Charge them. That sort of behaviour is unacceptable!!!
At the same time, give a loud shout out to the morons who are responsible for Nizamuddin to come out of hiding and help contain the threat that they now pose to our nation.
Ha!! Ha!! @Gautam Satpathy, you are highly ignorant!!
It’s impossible for a Muslim to live and commune with non-Islamic societies without an obligation to convert them to Islam by force or by deception. Islamic jihad has many faces. Jihad is not just slaughtering people for Islam; it is also a systematic suppression of truth and propagation of lies. If not, how can the moderate Muslims boldly assert (despite hard evidence to the contrary) that Islam is a peaceful religion?
The religion is in dire need of help and direction to escape the clutches of a few Mullahs who misinterpret their religious sayings. These Mullahs and the general poverty are used to scare them into existential crisis. The happenings over the last 25 years in the geopolitical arena only hardened their stand and others’s as well against Muslims. Abrahamic religions need a wider view instead either killing or converting non believers. Unless Muslims themselves discard their interpretations of their texts or be able to intellectually debate within and outside of their religion there is no remedy.
@Vijay subramanian – Unfortunately for Muslims, they are ruled by fear of Allah & fatwas so they are destined to be poor & extremist!! The rich or the educated Muslims are not really coming forward to help, but propagating like this author just has, the Evil agenda of Islamic domination, disguised as victim hood & oppression of Muslims!!
Meanwhile, Islam has contributed nothing to Humanity besides death & violence in the past 1400 years!! They even killed their own prophet’s family while Hindu kings tried to save them!!
Islam will remain the death cult it always has in the short to medium run!! Others must protect themselves & their civilizations against these zombies!!
People in other communities hate you, not because of your golden inheritance as you think or that you have a true religion that might be a potential threat to other communities. No this is not the case it is because of the potential threat they have because of your ignorance. Because of the ignorance which your religious clerics and rulers intentionally planted and flourishing in your communities since centuries.
The situation with you is very complicated. You are not able to recognize any connection between your ignorance and all the afflictions befalling on you. Diseases, Poverty, Killing, fighting with each other are the traits of your societies. Societies where there is no liberty no freedom, where no new ideas come, no inventions, where every item of technology that you use comes from the west and other communities. Majority of your people are in poverty. Eat dirty food, die like the flies, and attack each other. Since you fail to make the connection between ignorance and your miserable situation you are now entered in a vicious cycle of poverty and more ignorance, multiplying every moment.
Every Action has a ReAction
Hindus don’t compel Muslims to shout NO GOD WORTHY OF WORSHIP BUT/ONLY ALLA
Accommodating others is a Trait MUSLIMS Dont have and that leads to the LOW LEVEL HATRED Shown by MUSLIMS Towards HINDUS
Hindus are Just Trying to SAVE THEMSELVES & THIS CANNOT BE CALLED DISCRIMINATION UNLESS THE AUTHOR OF THIS ARTICLE IS IN CONNIVANCE WITH MUSALMANS TO HURT HINDUS BY LOWERING THEIR GUARD DOWN
Of course the author & his community along with congress/communists have been not just lowering the guard of Hindus but also actively degraded the splendid Hindu civilization & make many of them SICK-ular & Identity-less today!!
India must be declared a Hindu nation as other Islamic & Christians nations have done!! Period!! Else, these desert cults tamashas & more! will be lethal!!
WHY should Hindus accommodate?? What is there to accommodate??
Weren’t Hindu epic lands taken away by Muslims who voted for Pakistan & Islam but still stayed in India??!! Didn’t they chose thus to be Hindus too & NOT just Muslims?? or else, WHY did they kick Islam & Pakistan in the bum & now claim to be Islamic??!!
These desert cults have to learn ABC of Hindustan & humanity or go to China & get treated for mental disorders!!
If the whole Muslim population is placed under a restive “judgement” of mistrust, it is not the fault of the “other” but our own “private bomber” who believes that they are going to “paradise” if they blow up a cathedral or an opera house full of people. Nation dated 29/11/15
What about those that destroyed a Mosque? Were they not terrorists?
No they were not. They did wrong, but we’re not terrorists because they killed no one. One not-in-use mosque for 40,000 temples, but most Hindus still say it is wrong. Even Muslims are not callin those who destroyed the mosque as ‘terrorists’. Funny you should think so.
Lol!! Are you SICK-ular or brainwashed Muslim?!!
“Destroyed A Mosque”
Dont say i am going back in History where India had More Temples than Humans and Most Destroyed by a Ideology the TABLIQUES Propogate to this Day
And as for you a second rate converted Christian. You are Nothing and no need for you to debate this topic any further
Absolutely!!
The author & his community along with congress/communists have been not just lowering the guard of Hindus but also actively degrading the splendid Hindu civilization & make many of them SICK-ular & Identity-less today!!
India must be declared a Hindu nation as other Islamic & Christians nations have done!! Period!! Else, these desert cults tamashas & more! will be lethal for Hindustan & Hindu civilization!!
Editor, please do not publish this kind of rubbish article in future. This will simply downgrade your credibility.
The Muslim community, it was felt, was smarting over the fact that in two successive general elections, the BJP and Narendra Modi had coasted to outright victory without any Muslim support. PIONEER
Taslima HYPERLINK “http://zeenews.india.com/tags/taslima-nasreen.html” HYPERLINK “http://zeenema-nasreen.html”
Nasreen has questioned the double standards of writers protesting against ‘growing intolerance’ in India.
When asked about her views on secularism in India, Taslima Nasreen said most secular people are anti-Hindu.
“Most secular people are pro-Muslims and anti-Hindu. They protest against the acts of Hindu fundamentalists and defend the heinous acts of Muslim fundamentalists. Politicians appease Muslims for votes. This annoys many Hindus. In Canning, a Hindu village in West Bengal, was burnt down by Muslim fanatics in 2013. If Muslims were brutally persecuted in India, they would have left India for neighbouring Muslim countries like Hindu minorities have been leaving Bangladesh and Pakistan since Partition.,” she further added.
She is absolutely right!! And.. Taslima-nasreen is educated Muslim, well traveled & most importantly has wisdom unlike this author/his community & the Print running on Chinese/Paki money!!
The 4,800-word Maclean’s article argued that Muslims are prone to violence and pose a demographic, cultural and security threat to the West, including Canada.
“Of course, not all Muslims are terrorists — though enough are hot for jihad to provide an impressive support network of mosques from Vienna to Stockholm to Toronto to Seattle.
“Of course, not all Muslims support terrorists — though enough of them share their basic objectives (the wish to live under Islamic law in Europe and North America) to function wittingly or otherwise as the ‘good cop’ end of an Islamic good cop/bad cop routine.”
In a country when Muslims are a minority they demand more and more privileges and rights for minorities from the host country. When their number grows by birth or immigration, they want to impose the Sharia rule. When they become majority, they start bringing death and destruction to the host nation and start ethnic cleansing. This is the worst type of disloyalty and EVIL hypocrisy!!
Is not this the same what Muhammad did to the early Meccans? When he was weak, he uttered some verses which praised the pagan gods (the satanic verses) to make the Meccans happy. But when he became powerful his darker side began to emerge and the Qur’anic verses started losing their beauty. Once he conquered Mecca, he showed his true color to everyone – either convert or die by the sword!!
Though the concerned governments spend in billions to protect their citizens from Islamic jihadist, the policy-makers often fail to see that moderate Muslims are radicals too doing Jihad in civil society!!
They are making the same mistake what the early Meccans did. They realize the impact of radical Islam but fail to pay attention to moderate Islam. Little do they
understand that this so-called moderate Islam is much more dangerous than the radical Islam because it grows and silently kills the host!!
It’s impossible for a Muslim to live and commune with non-Islamic societies without an obligation to convert them to Islam by force or by deception. Islamic jihad has many faces. Jihad is not just slaughtering people for Islam; it is also a systematic suppression of truth and propagation of lies. If not, how can the moderate Muslims boldly assert (despite hard evidence to the contrary) that Islam is a peaceful religion?
First the author must answer why muslims lynched doctors & nurses in indore,Ghaziabad,did indecent act with nurses in hospitals,spitting on police?muslims must introspect rather than blaming others for their mistakes.
This article is spot on. Solely due to Hindus and PM Modi, Muslims in India are backward and discriminated upon for the last 70+ years. Even in the neighboring countries, the rise of Muslims is stymied solely by the 1-2% of Hindus who life luxuriously there. In the Middle East, despite the oil wealth, Muslims are unable to advance solely due to the RSS-US conspiracy. If only these groups would disappear, Shias and Sunnis can go back to their peaceful pursuits of bombing each other.
As long as Muslims prefer to send their children to madrassahs and not schools, their share of salaried govt jobs as well as private sector jobs will remain low. The fact that Christians and Sikhs enjoy an even better status than Hindus when it comes to salaried jobs indicates unequivocally that religious discrimination is minimum (though not absolutely non-existent) in our society. If Muslims do not take en masse to modern education and cling on to medieval era educational systems the state cannot help them.
Am really surprised that Mr. Ali did not accuse the Hindu Right of having invented/discovered the coronavirus and letting it loose on Indians in order to “marginalize” Indian Muslims.
Reputation of one’s community is in their own hands, when a lockdown got announced there were no special requests that had gone out to any particular community it is these communities who understood the situation and complied in letter and spirit. While I agree that Tablighi incident should not be blamed on the entire community but there are multiple videos where mosques have defied the appeal, doctors being attacked by the community and attacks on police officers at multiple incidents.
This has not been the case with any other community, reaction by one community is for self protection when Tablighi’s who are supposed to be quarantined for their own good are not behaving properly their leader refuses to take responsibility.
Have not seen any Muslim/ secular critcising their leader or these acts of violence.
Please note that this is a contagious virus and people would take measures to insulate themselves, its about life Sir.
Whom are you trying to teach??!! This is a virus which is inculcated since birth and makes you a Zombie good as dead for Jihad!!
Instead of having large no of children and living in poverty for generation the muslims has to concentrate on quality of life which can be achieved through small families. There will be discrimination irrespective of religion. That’s the nature of human race. The only possible way to marginalige discrimination is by lifting one self from poverty. Fyi my grandfather came from lower middle class family. Struggled to pay tution fee still he got it done and got himself a job. His employment is the reason why two other generations next to him could afford decent life.
Hopefully , all these events will remove religion from the planet earth and ensure supremacy of humanity over religious divide God created no religion. Religions were formed by humans 1000s of years ago, which are not valid today. There is no connection between God and Religion. Let us bring in uniform civil code, remove all religious records and become ordinary human beings.
You could not have said it better. Religions made by men have become the main reason for hatred and strife throughout the world. Your correct uniform codes eliminating anything to do with religion is the only way we can become real human beings that treat each other with love and respect!
Agreed
Leave Islam is you care for uplifting yourself. Else do not complain. Muslims must be removed from India
Wow ! And how exactly do you plan to do that ? Put them in concentration camps like the Nazis, the source of inspiration for the RSS ? Find some some of a final solution ?
@Kili Jolsiyar:
Muslims will eventually convert out of Islam when even the lowest of them realize what a bad deal Islam is.
Voila! Problem solved without firing a shot.
You should learn to think out of the box………..
Well said!! Muslims must leave Islam which ultimately turns them into good for nothing or good for death zombies!! They better leave Islam & lead human lives!! They will hence at last, help themselves, Hindustan & humanity!!
Sir,
Modiji is busy showing humanity to US and Brazil.
No humanity to ‘Other People,Katua in their definition ‘
Muslims are systematically marginalized. Very bad.
In long run hatred will always lead to hatred.
I pray good sense finally prevails amongst all right wing Hindus and Muslims (Like WAHABIS in terrorism and TABLIGIS in recent episode who disreputed entire community )
@Badshah 9 – Ha!! Ha!! LIAR as the 99.9% of the peaceful cult!!
Yeah, everything is against Muslims and Muslims are so innocent and not responsible for any Of the current problems and situations. Maybe the author should do some introspection as well instead of singularly blaming Hindus for Muslim’s plights. He didn’t even say anything about the role Jamaat played in spreading the virus in the country and spitting incidents.
First and foremost, this is India not Arabi. Those who carry names can never be Indians. Get this point in your mind. Why not follow Indian religion to live in India, why an Arabic religion? If you will follow Arabic religion you will always be looked at from suspicion
Well, Sikhs like you faced that problem in the 80s didn’t you ? Sikhs were mercilessly butchered by Hindu mobs in the wake of PM Gandhi’s assassination with their outward appearance making them easy to target. So don’t you think that your prescription for Muslims will boomerang on you finally ?
Correction
Congress butchered Sikhs not Hindu.
State facts not assumptions.
Ha!! Ha!! LIAR!! Those were NOT Hindu mobs BUT Mulla Congress Mobs which Killed Sikhs!!
It is shocking how a very communal write-up is allowed by The Print
@SHAILESH – I think any writing should be allowed!1 The problem arises when you just forward one thinking & bar others!! I would like Print & Media to publish the extreme & middle views from the other side so that balance is established!!
Putting things under the carpet (even if it’s lies & propaganda of this Muslim author) is NOT the solution!! We have to give Muslims more liberty than their Islam gives to their own societies and their women imprisoned in black cages!!
If this is true, who contributed to this phenomenon? Are Muslim community leaders not responsible for the illiteracy and economic backwardness of Muslims? Why insist education through Madarsas, where the sole objective is to teach religious ritualism.? How would then Muslim children learn science, mathematics and computers? This separatist mindset is the major factor resulting in economic backwardness of the Muslim community. Why it is necessary mix education with religion? Dr Ambedkar enjoined Dalits to pursue education, because it is the only means of securing economic welfare and social liberation. Why Muslims could produce only Jinnah and not Ambedkar? Muslims need introspection. Covid-19 pandemic is a tough time for all. Minds are stressed and there is natural tendency of self-preservation. To add to this the Tablighi Jamat incidence has provided a trigger to widen the communal rift. It is highly improper to divide the coronavirus infected into religious breakup. But my guess is that the Muslim share in this unfortunate victimhood would be quite high. So also the death rate, as Muslims are instinctively hiding their infection and are compelled to disclose it at a late stage. This is most unfortunate and reflects very poor standard of community leadership amongst Muslims.
I like your last sentence :
“This is most unfortunate and reflects very poor standard of community leadership amongst Muslims.”
It is true! In all fairness, we must accept that this line is ALSO TRUE FOR HINDU LEADERSHIP that Modi-Shah are providing since 2014. The first thing they did was to employ a paid army of venom-spewing trolls who are highly aggressive on all social media platforms.
BJP existed even in Vajpeyi-Advani time, but it never wore hatred for the Muslims on their sleeves. “Vinaash-kaale vipreet budhhi”. Modi-Shah will do well to remember this centuries-old Sanskrit adage. It has become immortal, BECAUSE IT HAS ALWAYS PROVED RIGHT.
Only 3% of Muslim children get their education in a madrasah. Get your facts right before farting around.
According to 2011 Census data, Muslims have the highest number of illiterates at nearly 43 per cent. Among the Muslims, just 2.76 per cent are educated till graduation level or above, only 0.44 per cent have technical/non-technical diploma, 4.44 per cent are educated till higher secondary level and 6.33 per cent till matric level. The highest number of literates in the Muslim community are at the primary level (16.08 per cent), followed by 14.32 per cent at below primary level and 9.73 per cent at middle school Now if the percentage quoted by you is factual, a large number of Muslims in India don’t get even primary level education either in Madarsas or in schools. This is the stark reality. Who is responsible? Please make self introspection and don’t pass the blame to others. This won’t do anything concrete.
According to the article “Role of Madarsa Education in Empowerment of Muslims in India Sana Asma and Tasneem Shazli, Research Scholar and Research Scholar Department of Geography, Aligarh Muslim University, published in IOSR Journal Of Humanities And Social Science (IOSR-JHSS) Volume 20, Issue 2, Ver. V (Feb. 2015): “A large population of Muslims in India are receiving education either from Madarsas or from Urdu medium schools. The Madarsas will need to be revitalized to meet the challenge of the modern world. Strong emphasis will need to be laid on quality of education and expanding the base of science, information and technology, because this is the need of our present era of competition. The contribution of these Madarsas has been so important that one cannot strategize the educational development of Muslim community by neglecting or overlooking their services to the community. These Madarsas form a parallel education system which completely blocks the roads of economic growth and prosperity of the Muslims who resort to it and consequently Muslims are most backward religious community in India. So there is an urgent need to modernize or improve Madarsa education systems in India to educate the Muslims at that level which help them to compete to the children belong to modern education system.. They add “We should learn from, the words of the Prophet (Mohammad Sallallahu Alaihe Wasallam): ‘‘Seek knowledge even, if it is to be found in a place as distant as, China. “
I admire your erudition, Pramod. But remember this: upliftment of the stupid, who are stubborn because of the ego of a low-IQed, is the real task and test of leadership. It will be foolish to believe that such tough nuts exist only among the Muslims and all other communities are brilliant and dynamic. If that were true then at least 80% of Indians should have been prosperous and well educated. To condemn such people cunningly, especially picking the Muslims out of them, and say that they should be thrown into the sea or concentration camps is not the civilized world’s way. Let no present leaders of India, charismatic or brutal or both, think that they will succeed in fulfilling such a macabre dream.
@SANJIV BHATLA – Can you give us the name of just one nation on the entire planet where Muslim minorities are not creating violence or other law & order issues??
Is France, a secular nation which defined secularism stupid to have brought in anti Islamic laws??
Is Denmark, the happiest & richest nation on the planet dumb to bring Anti Islamic laws & take out mosques??
Is China’s President Xi illiterate & stupid to say that Islam is a mental illness??!!
Smell the Islamic coffee & Ideology before you & your family are raped too as our daughters & mothers were in Kashmir!!
and ONLY 3% of Muslims are terrorists!! The rest are doing passive Jihad on the streets & society!!
Very well written!
Where as I agree with the opinion that there was not a single reformist muslim leader comparable to rajaram mohan roy, Mahathma Gandhi, Nehru, Ambedkar, it is not ok to paint muslims as anti-nationals for TJ. There were thousands of congregations at the same time as TJ and even parliament was in session. It was plain unfortunate that TJ became a super spreader like the christian congregation in SKorea(patient.31). The news channel anchors and some motor-mouths from some parties played out key role in stigmatising the TJ participants and were made to look like they were involved in anti-national activity. The atmosphere is so charged up and biased that even if a muslim breaks a traffic rule, he would be called out as anti-national. Basically before TJ came to light, there were some reports that people returning from abroad were taking paracetamol to dodge the thermal screening at airports and some even escaped quarantine/isolation facility. They were chided and criticized for that but were not called anti-nationals.
Very well said, Prashanth. India at this juncture needs fair thinking like yours to defeat the conspiracy of recklessly giving visas to large number of foreigners at a time like this, and then nudging the Hindutva loud mouths to target Muslims at large. I am ashamed to call Rajat Sharma a senior journalist. We must remember that even the INDIAN MUSLIMS HAVE BEEN INFECTED BY THE FOREIGNER MUSLIMS.
@SANJIV BHATLA – “the conspiracy of recklessly giving visas to large number of foreigners..”
Lol! and If no visa was given it was a conspiracy too to kill Islam in India??!!
Damn if I do & damn if I don’t??!!
Good!! You are doing what active & passive Jihadis do!! Double speak & conspiracy theories!!
@Prashanth Ram G – Well at least you can read what Dr. Ambedkar wrote on Islam & be warned!!
Else, din’t you not learn a thing of democratic Islam & peaceful Muslims, in Kashmir, west Bengal, Kerala.. Pakistan/Bangladesh where tens of millions of Hindus have been killed??!!
Did you not learn a thing when in Islamic rule, 30 crore + Hindus were killed by Islam & Jihadis??
For those who claim to be descendants of those Muslims & keep Arabic names ever even apologized for the mass genocide of Hindus?? WHY NOT?? What are they hiding or are proud of??!!
One wonders from which identity-less earth some people, especially some Hindus are made of!!
Do not know how responsible it is to allow ” Covid an excuse to push Indian Muslims out of informal sector jobs. Apartheid the next step” such headlines .
Whoever has allowed such venomous headline the is either stupid or bent on creating communal divide.
There will always be enough idiots to write stupid theories but the the few who have the authority to give space are expected to be more responsible.
Couldn’t agree more. I also think this results from an innate desire to “balance out” the extreme right bias from certain media houses, which is, frankly, a pathetic approach.
@VIJAY GALANDE – Well Print & the media is SICK-ular!! Don’t you know??
When 10 Hindus/Dalits die of lynching by Muslims, it’s NOT news for them!!
When 1 Muslim dies, it’s front page news!!
Print & the like present the SICK of Indian secularism!! As such, A Hindus Rashtra might be the best anti doe to all this tamasha!!
Print & the like or Muslims like this author hasn’t raised the issue of Hindu killings in India, Pakistan/Bangladesh in the millions!! They are NOT credible and frankly sponsors of Islamic terrorism!!
Wow! What an insight. Straight to the garbage bin! I wonder what kind of “research” these brainwashed people do. Research on sowing division? Now even migrant labor is being divided on religious lines? Shame on the author
when india was doling out favors and patronizing this muslim community, no one saw the positive side of the hindus. we have had enough of these thankless community. they have proved to be traitors. their loyalty is to their religion. india will progress and will do well without the muslims. i stopped buying from muslims shops and not employing them even for daily labor
India as a nation will never progress without Muslims. Come what may , your wish will never be fulfilled. If this kind of virulent and poisonous thinking continues To percolate amongst uncouth fanatics like you then be prepared for complete destruction of the society which is bound to happen very soon. Personally feeling this is the beginning of the end of the entire humanity mankind. Islam will never be destroyed , no matter how hard you non believers keep trying.
@SUHAIL POONAWALA – You & people like you are either ignorant or fools!! Pakistan was voted for and created by Muslims, NOT Hindus!! So WHY didn’t the lovers of Islam move to Pakistan for their love for Allah which they wanted & created??!!
What has been Islamic history in India?? How many millions of Hindus were killed?? Where was democracy or minority rights in Kashmir??!! WHY are Muslims creating hate, arson & riots & continue their dance of death in EVERY democratic nation on earth??
Indian Muslims have to become Hindustani or move to lands where they can practice their evil cult!!
Hindus & Hindustan have given enough!! Now let the Muslims learn some Hindustani & patriotism!!
I understand your problem buying from shops require money & many people like you are jobless & bankrupt but grocery kits you are receiving as help from people are also 99% muslims
Well in that case there is always Pakistan you can move too. The whole country has been created specifically for that purpose.
Absolutely right @A-Woke!! I wonder WHY they kicked Islam in the bum by not moving to Pakistan in 1947 which they wanted & created??!! They can rectify their mistake NOW!! GOI should even talk to Pakistan/Bangladesh to right the wrongs they did in 1947 by not taking their brothers to their Islamic lands created out of epic Hindu lands!!
Yes hindu lands which were mughals ruled for more then 800 years
The economic and social boycott of Muslims is not new and has been practised in parts from hundreds of years. Has any boycott of any community succeeded anywhere. No.
A few lakhs will always think that if they boycott Muslims, the community will surrender and perish. Wishful and foolish thinking is all I can say. There will always be more Hindus who belive in Hinduism than Hindutva. Till then, India is as safe as a moated Fort.
bro,first tell ur youth to behave in a responsible manner,,there r many tiktok videos of ur youth,,where they propagate againt safety precautions for covid (where they even purposely hug each other in videos),,u elders r silent when some of ur community guys do any wrongdoings,,but when another community criticizes for their behaviour,,u will cry foul that we r minorities & Islamophobia is rising ,and other such bullshit,,i too know that all muslims r not bad,infact i have many muslim friends who r very kind-hearted ,, it’s only becaz of some miscreants that u have to take all the blame,,but u guys even don’t give a shit or teach ur youth/others when they do mistakes , that’s the problem !!!!!
Peaceful and Moderate Muslims/Islam is a MYTH!! In a country where Muslims become majority, they start bringing death and destruction to the host nation and start ethnic cleansing!!
Is not this the same what Muhammad did to the early Meccans? When he was weak, he uttered some verses which praised the pagan gods (the satanic verses) to make the Meccans happy. But when he became
powerful his darker side began to emerge and the Qur’anic verses started losing their beauty. Once he conquered Mecca, he showed his true color to everyone – either convert or die by the sword!!
Though the concerned governments spend in billions to protect their citizens from Islamic jihadist, the policy-makers & citizens fail to see that moderate Muslims are radicals too doing Jihad in civil society!! They are making the same mistake what the early Meccans did.
They realize the impact of radical Islam but fail to pay attention to moderate Islam. Little do they understand that this so-called moderate Islam is much more dangerous than the radical Islam because it grows and silently kills the host!!
Why muslims need help when Allah will help them always and Muslims please say inshallah like the pakistanis and all your problems will be solved. Inshallaha.
We know what has Islam has done To Hindus & others In India & the world!! There is always a reaction much more powerful than the action!! It’s better to be human because EVIL & looting will ultimately have to be paid back!!
i do not know about muslims – definitely this author needs to be pushed out of his job for suggesting this kind of baloney
Firstly what do you think of halal economy. Earlier it was only the food now it is being applied even to flats
You can find muslim societies /colonies in every city town. Who asked them to live only in herds. Is it tribal syndrome.
Who has barred them from education formal or professional.
Who has told them to increase their population without giving priority to better civic amenities.
Who have asked them to prioritize religion over good life.
Who have asked them to keep spitting over food items, involving in illegal activities.
Even in Muslims why bohra, ahmediyas & shias are in better positions.
They never gave importance to formal jobs, New professions, small family.
All the huge funds provided by middle eastern countries are utilized in radicalization, conversion and non fruitful activities like jamat does.
It’s been decades that they live in ghettos or no go zone in urban areas to carry out there hideous acts.
Lastly who have been taught that do not mingle with unbelievers, kill them, convert them for darul haram,
Honestly, I thought that right-minded Muslims will make amend after CAA agitation but unfortunately, they have been or they have chosen to keep silent over Tablighi Jammat issue, violence in many places and misbehaviour with health staff has done no good to the Muslim community and we are seeing results in our social fabric now. They are to be blamed for their plight and its time for them to carry out introspection.
This is nothing but playing the victim card and giving covering fire to the jihadis. What’s new, except that we are finally seeing through this game.
@R J – Spot on!! This EVIL game of Muslims and dance of death of this horrendous inhuman ideology must end in Hindustan & the sub continent!!
Victim alert.
Muslims are defying lockdown under pretense of prayers and spreading corona.
Spitting on doctors, medical staff, notes to vegetables all Indians have seen their action and mentality.
The contempt and defiance shown by regular Muslims towards India, Indians and indianess, in this hour of crisis has fully exposed the communal, radical and jihadi underbelly of regular muslims.
On TV, media they play victim, blame everyone & everything and on the ground burn the whole country down.
Enough of this treachery, conceit and doublespeak.
In economic and socio bahiskar, Indians have found the right tool.
I’m disappointed with Shekhar Gupta. I see a pattern here. While he himself is very objective and fair, he lets people like this author and many others (like Shivam Vij) do the dirty, hate-mongering, divisive work. If The Print gives platform for hate spreading articles like this, Shekhar Gupta will not only lose respect and readership but also will be doing a gross disservice to the nation, and to the noble profession that fed and clothed him.
Gupta can’t dismiss this article as someone’s personal views. It is obnoxious, one-sided, full of unsubstantiated claims.
To continue, in another recent article, Taslima Nasreen called all believers in God “Idiots”. No respectable publication would have published such an offensive article.
If Nasreen doesn’t apologise, Shekhar Gupta should.
I don’t agree with Taslima Nasreen on many things, but I guess in this case she is right.
M RAMESH – Taslima Nasreen is absolutely right!! Any obstinate belief in anything which you don’t really know or haven’t seen is at best stupid!!
This is especially true if you kill or do EVIL in the name of god which Islam & Muslims do all the time!! What is that god which asked Muslims to kill tens of millions of Hindus in Pakistan/Bangladesh as also in Kashmir, west Bengal or Kerala??!!
That doesn’t mean that spiritual awakening or mediation is a myth!!
For the record, I have been anti Modi and anti hindutva for a long time, and have fought with a lot of friends and lost a few in the process.
The article makes sense and the numbers are right. However, the author conveniently forgets to answer why muslims still lag in various sectors of the economy and national life.
What has stopped muslims from educating themselves and integrating themselves in Indian society?. Sure there are lot of hurdles in our society, but the same is true for lot of people, and i have seen a lot of people who are non-brahmins, from villages from lower cases come up and establish themselves. It is so much so that, it is difficult to get people for agriculture labour, as the traditional people who used to do this, have moved on to better lives!. So why not muslims? Has the state stopped providing them education and other amenities that is available to other disadvantaged class?. Are muslims, blatantly failed in schools and colleges, or ignored or marginalized in public and private sector jobs?. Request the author to pull up this data and analyze and he would know the reasons. But let me tell you , what we can plainly see happening, which you so conveniently ignore.
The muslim society in general, and the clergy in particular, inspired by various sects like the jamaat, and others sponsored from the middle east are only interested in increasing there political power and increasing there political reach among Muslims in particular and imposing there idealogy on the rest of the world.. This is done through scaring muslims into a contest of who is the most devout muslim and that everybody else is there go get them and make them into a unholy person. And for the rest of the world, this is done in a veil of secularism, oil money andusing the greed of western powers.
There is no effort and intent put by the muslim society in general into education, personal development, socio-cultural pursuits or any other aspect of life. This comes from blindly believing and being fed that what the religion prescribes is all that is needed and required to meet god or go to heaven. I am putting this pretty crudely, but basically that is what it is. Even educated muslims, i have come across, do not put any effort towards analyzing there thoughts, actions and the reasons of various aspects of there religion. Any analysis or questioning by others is a taboo will be called blasphemy and will warrant a fatwa of the nastier kind!.
So, as bad as hindutva is, you have to realize it is an outcome and a reactive movement originating to counter a monotheistic, rigid and self-aggrandizing part of our society. You have to address the later to tackle the former.
Food for thought, Only after Mr Modi came to power, i have seen muslims holding placards of secularism and coming out en mass, have they done this any other time for any other cause which is remotely secular or liberal. Have muslims accepted a change to there inherent customs and beliefs like other religions have done?
Please think, blaming congress and other parties for there lack of coherent opposition will not help. If you really want a country that lives up to our constitution, all people have to change. It is a pity that all the so called liberal and secular media like print and scroll take time and make it there calling to print injustice done to minorities, which no doubt should be done. But, your reporting is blind to the causes, especially the intolerance( to thought, speech and criticism , plain medieval ghetto thinking and inequality existing in the minority community. This is doing them and the nation more harm than good.
@nas – I wasn’t pro BJP or Modi ji. I lived in Europe for a long time and I used to argue with my Hindu friends that perhaps social deprivation was the cause of Muslim stubbornness & radicalization!
This was till I resettled in India & saw the Hypocrisy & evil of the Muslim ideology and their blatant, almost zombie like support of their cult!!
Then I realized I was a Hindu from the Mahabharata and NOT from India of the Black British!! I analyzed Islam & Muslims, their greed & lust for power & resources disguised as religion, the same patterns of Muslim violence & victim-hood in every part of the world…
I concluded, the only thing wrong in India/Hindus was the tolerance for this intolerant & hateful bunch of liars, killers of Hindus & the Hindu kush!!
The only thing i do not agree with is the innocence of Muslims, in your article.
This article is not any different from what other articles published by Muslim groups trying to prove the muslims are victimised. It’s actually other way around. Their writers likeAsim Ali and others bring fear to their comunity to come on the road against Indian peaceful people. Asim and Owasi type selfish leaders are always want muslims to agitate instead live like peaceful people. Existing muslims, alltypes, to get up and demand impossible demands like another country in India. All kind of shameless demands like separate ghettos for Muslim vendors. Most are skilled for three wheelers and selling fruit and vegetables and praying half a day. Owasi type want gazeted jobs for them. BIG TROUBLE BREWERS. Then come mullas teaching them to defy law &&&*
1. If it is said that interests of the Muslim community in our country must be protected, question is whose responsibility is it? I say that let everyone be clear about a basic truth, which is that secularism will succeed in our country only by protecting interests of all communities and not by appeasing the minority vote banks. 2. If what author of this article says is true, it is obvious that our political leadership cannot protect interest of the vast number of poor Muslims because this section of our society has been used by greedy politicians in vote-bank politics. 3. No big research is required to support what I have said. Just a cursory glance at the economic conditions of the huge number of poor Muslims in States like Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Maharashtra, Jharkhand, etc., is good enough to prove my statement. 4. I think that our political leaders, irrespective of their political affiliation, have to ensure that all the poor whether Hindus, Muslims, or of other religion, get equal opportunities to increase income and thus make economic/social progress. That will make our society more equitable. 5. My incidental observation is that the Muslim leadership in India has vested interest in ensuring that all poor Muslims, particularly women are not exposed to modern education and democratic practices. While on one hand, the poor in Muslim community have remained poor and uneducated, on the other hand Muslim leaders belonging to Congress and regional parties like BSP, SP, JD(S), NCP, etc., have amassed wealth. This is a very unhappy scenario which must be challenged by the Muslim community.
You are writing all the statistics of low employment in government jobs like it is government’s job to give muslims jobs on their plate. If muslims can clear UPSC or railway board exams who can stop them from getting into IAS, IFS etc. The low level of education in Muslim community is creating problems for the community and country at large. We have seen enough videos of how peaceful muslims were during delhi riots and for that matter all riots. Every time there are riots it is the muslims who are the victims like they were peacefully doing dharna without lifting a finger and were attacked for no reason.
I work with many muslims and also give employment to many muslims. Like in any community, not all are bad. But people like you should stop making muslims self pity themselves and stop writing stupid articles. The level of freedom muslims enjoy in India is unlike any other country. So stop this self pitying bullshit. Urge your community to increase their education levels. Uniform civil code should be implemented. Dont care for laws of each individual religion. Modi government needs to implement it ASAP along with some very strict population control measures for the entire country.
Dont know how morons like you get to write article in the Print.
Irresponsible article. Don’t blame Hindu community or BJP for where Muslims are today. Why didn’t Muslims attain high level of prosperity before 2014? Don’t you realize that you have been consistently cheated by your own leaders and those in power all these days? It’s mischievous to suggest that Kashmir and CAA are against Muslims. And to suggest that Muslims have been kept out of formal sector jobs is outrageous.
On the flipside, why don’t you introspect and see if what you have been doing wouldn’t provoke a reaction? Just Google up ‘massacres in India’ and see the Wickipedia post. Modi didn’t write it. How much we have suffered at Muslims hands?
Yet, we should not profile a community. Majority of today’s Indian Muslims are noble people. I’m all for inclusive development. My pt is, if there are sporadic instances of wrong doings against Muslims, (a) don’t generalize it (b) understand that Hindus are a wounded civilization.
I can say this apatheid has already started happening. Can be confirmed via various media reports of assaults and discrimination in recent times.
For anyone asking that this article is creating division. No this is just pointing to the reality( maybe ahead of time bcz not many people can relate to this or maybe the majority has already been brainwashed). Media as well as social media has already done a wonderful job in popularising these notions that muslims are spreading coronavirus by showing fake videos of street vendor licking fruits, or train incident etc. ( Actually it is an attempt to paint them barbaric and someone who doesn’t care for his life and is ready to kill as many as even if they have to sacrifice themselves, not my point, they think like this.)
I live in a village in Bihar and I can say that this has started happening. People here watch those news channels and their mind is so much subverted that they even want to punish them by shooting them or giving them poison through injection.( I am not making this up, In conversation with many people this was the argument).
Ye ek din main nhi hua h. Ye jo salo se jo media mein chala aa rha h usika long term result h. If u want to hold anyone responsible, hold those media houses and journalist responsible. Politician can’t do anything if they don’t have journalist support (not at this mass level).
Also most of the comment only proves authors point.
Pardon my english
@Satyam Sharma:
Blaming media for everything is an Global pastime.
We all get what we deserve- when we put up with uninformed anchors /reporters Broadcasting low quality information we get more of it.
On the subject of the TJs spreading Corona, it is unforgivable.
In recent times I have seen several social media postings by Indian Mullahs and preachers threats to media, reporters and news people.
They are doing this if their own free will.
If they feel the media is biased, why worsen it by baiting them.
I feel sorry for India’s Muslims – poor, unwilling to get an education, trapped in practices from a millennium ago; practices that even Muslim majority countries like Saudi Arabia have abandoned.
@Satyam Sharma: Once again a Hindu proved that many Hindus like him have been made SICK-ular, identy-less, pride less with ZERO perspective of history & Islamic REALITY!! Unless you are a Muslim, cheating using Taqiya as always, you can’t be more WRONG!!
In case, apartheid has already started happening then I must say it isn’t strong enough!! After all, Islam has apartheid built in their evil ideology and they treat non Muslims especially Hindus as animals to be killed!! This is Islamic history against Hindus which proves it again & again but Hindus aren’t hurt or are they??!
If Gandhi failed to win over hearts of Islamist’s tho he laid down his life for them, Indians & Hindus won’t succeed either!! Hindu pampering of Muslims is taken as sign of #Dhimmitude, not greatness. They spit at Hindus with the same old Islamic expectation!!
Islamic rulers used to say: “If silver is demanded from Hindus, they must with the greatest humility offer gold. If a Muslim desires to spit into a Hindu’s mouth, the Hindu should open it wide for the purpose”.
This actually used to happen in many places, including Kashmir under Islamic rule!! Ha!! Ha!! But be SICK-ular Hindus/Indians!! Wait! for being raped & killed by this evil ideology!!
First Please report how Halal is an excuse to push Hindus out of Formal and Informal Food sector
Absolutely!! This is discriminating in Islam & Muslims which they won’t talk nor will Print!!
Halal must be banned or at least labelled & described of what it really is with Allah & all!! Halal food also finances terrorists activities!!
Muslims are targetted because other religions have moved on, to more more modern method, leaving the past behind, and eventually religion will be a forgotten practise, but I doubt Islamists will ever come out of this age old practise, I can isee Islamists becoming more religious which is bad for society.
Hindus are boycotting Muslims, yes, because there are many videos showing Muslims spitting onto food products before selling them. So why would Hindus buy from Muslims?
Hindus are not accepting cash from Muslims, yes, because Muslims are purposefully spitting and spreading nose mucus on currency notes – there are many videos showing that. So why should any community get currency notes from Muslims?
If Muslim are getting marginalised, they are the only reason for it, not Hindus or anybody else.
Look at the al-taqqiyya practised by the author – he never once mentions these videos.
If Muslims suffer all over the world, there is one and only one reason – Muslims. Not Hindus, not Jews, not Christians, not Sikhs.
The world has woken up. It is not 1970s anymore.
You are a major part of the problem by spreading lies! You need to wake up to reality!
Well said. Despite India being the only Hindu Home for Hindu, didn’t we say we don’t want India to be Hindu, but ‘secular’? In return, all we got was harrassment, killing, abuse of Hindu Gods, kicking Hindus out of Kashmir. When we react a little, Muslims and the stupid left liberals demonize us. Even now we are not happy if Muslims are attacked or kept out. But at least educated Muslims should understand our hurt, and not write articles like this.
Please read Dr. Ambedkar’s writings on Islam & don’t be lured By the lies & hypocrisy of these authors!! Please don’t get influenced by this community or it’s communist supporters like Print!! This has gone on for too long but Dr. Ambedkar knew their reality & so did Nehru/Gandhi!!
Let’s see.There are no easy solution.Any divisive agenda will prove disasterous for the country given the so called minority are certainly not a small minority when it comes to nos. spread right across the country.
That is WHY Dr. Ambedkar wanted total exchange of population with Pakistan!! The so called visionary leaders in the name of Gandhi/Nehru refused!!
Anyways, better to call out the bluff of this community then to be enslaved, killed & destroyed as in the past!! Either there is reform in this community so they can rectify their mistakes or.. we’ll check out the Chinese good rapport with the Ughurs!!
What a pathetic attempt to distract attention from criminal behavior of Tabligies .
What about all the people that went outside to set off fire crackers and light torches for Modi. They spread more than any religious event!
Try harder. None of the idiots who were lighting fire crackers spread the virus to the extent the Tablighi Jammat followers did. Not only in India but in Pakistan, Malaysia and Indonesia as well.
Problem for people like you, Stephan, is what famous Andy Roone of sixty minutes said about people whose children have gone bad; they say” he was with bad company”.
ANDY’S COMMENT WAS :” BAD COMPANY DID NOT ROB LIQUOR STORE YOUR SON DID.”
SAME IS THE CASE HERE THE OTHER GROUPS DID NOT SPREAD VIRUS, TABLIGHI DID.
Typical tactics of Islam!! It comes right from the book!!
Very disturbed by the very extreme comments on this post,which I thaugt was an anguished appeal to all of us specially us Hindus.The Tabligh event was very bad and symptomatic of obscurantism in political Islam. But India is a pluralistic diverse country and we cannot wish away that reality. Leaders from the Muslim community must allay fears and as the PM has said we must all respond with sympathy and compassion. Healing is imperative now both physically and emotionally
This is article is exactly what one should be expecting from a fundamentalist muslim writer.
And your reply is exactly that one would expect from a Hindutva!
your reply is the exact template from a follower of Abrahamic ethos
WHY won’t you call the British or Danes who formed their nations on Christianity, Christutva?? Is it more palatable??
If you say Muslim, no need to add fundamentalist!!
Who can deny the fact that the clerics and the militant community leaders are elected by these moderate Muslims?
Though the terrorism expert Daniel Pipes estimates that 10 to 15 percent of world’s Muslims support jihadist agenda; there are indications from various parts of the Islamic world that the actual number is much higher. During a terrorism finance trial in New York in February 2005, Bernard Haykel, an associate professor of Islamic studies at New York University estimated that 90 percent of the Arab Muslims support Hamas – the Islamic terrorist organization that blows up civilizations in buses and restaurants to further its goals of a Palestinian Sharia state.
Dr. Imran Waheed, the London spokesman for the international “peaceful” jihadist group Hizb ut-Tahris, confirmed in May 2005 that 99 percent of the Muslims worldwide want a caliphate to rule the world. These statistics confirm that those Muslims who support terrorism are not a tiny minority but a vast majority.
Social divide is a reality. The muslims are more to blame for this divide than Hindus. Muslims are seeking advice from Mullahs who has created a parochial outlook in muslims. The minorities in Pakistan are also suffering largely because of Mullahs. Muslims have to learn how to respect other religions. They have to be progressive in their approach and ve to follow progressive leadership. Only a leadership that believes in unity of India, respect all human beings irrespective of their caste or creed, and have progressive religious views like that of Javed Ahmed Ghamdi.
Enlightenment is only cure of problems of Muslim communities. They can live and survive in ignorance where they are in majority and not where they are in minority.
Educated , moderate, modern muslims who believe in equality of mankind, have respect for all faiths, to come forward and lead the muslim community in india.
Well this Tablighi Jamat chapter open new direction for Muslim and other Vulnerable Minority section to work on education ,and built self help mechanism.
muslim community Marginalized through continuous political and Social supremist effort ,no doubt on this but ,One Harsh reality is this also , The Educated and privileged class also turn down there face to educate and Empowering this community.
There I want to give you a reference from past , Raja Ram Mohan Roy ,The Modern man of India, his role to reform and his continuous effort leads to establish equality in Society and educated Hindu community. Even inhuman rituals like Sati banned from society because of his unrest struggle. Many other took inspiration from his teaching to contribute to empower Dalits in Indian society.
Muslim had a some Karismatic personality such as Sir Syed Ahmad Khan and Moulana Abul Kalam Azad, APJ Abul Kalam Azad, but that legacy couldn’t pass through Next generation in such manners to uplift community.
Now it great chance to learn from past event and historical ignorance. Time to stand on own foot to value themselves.
The last para equally holds good for Hindus too. Please understand two truths. (1) If we have hurt you x, we have been hurt by you 100x. (2) If you’re marginalized, not economically, socially empowered, don’t blame Hindus or BJP. Blame it on your Mullahs and Imams and on all those political parties that cheated you in the name of helping your. Jago bhai, jago! Aankhaen khol. Haqikat samjho!
Very well said. The educated and social leaders among the Muslim community need to lead the community to education, progress instead of the religious hardliners who drag them down and coach them that all non believers so called kaafirs need to be taught a lesson and if they do so, they will be abundantly rewarded. This is not how you can live as a part of community with members of other faith… you have to respect the plural culture and not hate and still expect fairness… one cant afford to be antisocial in democracy.
And please do not get played by the vested politicians as vote bank… they have no interest in betterment but their ONLY VESTED INTEREST is to instill fear and exploit for political gain…
@Sundeep: If Gandhi failed to win over hearts of Islamist’s tho he laid down his life for them, Indians & Hindus won’t succeed either!! Hindu pampering of Muslims is taken as sign of #Dhimmitude, not greatness. They spit at Hindus with the same old Islamic expectation!!

Ha!! Ha!! But be SICK-ular Hindus/Indians & wait for being raped & killed by this evil ideology!!
Well said. We need a new leader who commamds respect and takes society ahead. We need a leader like Abdul kalam.
The views expressed in this article lack substance and you are using your might in social media amplification to further the political agenda of the people who fund your portal. Rather than spread positivity at a time of crisis, your portal seems to be taking joy in the politicisation of your views. The pseudo liberalism is evident.
Very provocative write up when the entire country is under stress due to corona virus pandemic. When an Engineer Senior Architect in Infosys talks about spreading coronavirus which employer wants to take such risks. If it is a one in lakh case why moderate muslims didn’t condemn it?
The role Tablighi Jamat is before the country in spreading coronavirus by spitting, urinating, stone pelting n threatening health warriers. When entire country is observing social distancing by shutting religious places a section of muslim community refused to observe and persisted in attending mosques and creating chaos. Moreover certain videos were circulated wherein someone indulging in spitting on the currency notes and putting salive on vegetables nand fruits. In that case how one can expect the majority community to go and hug. Certainly it has to exercise care and caution. This misery is self inflicted by muslim community. If moderates and leaders have condemned this then they had something to argue. Rather, they became meek spectators. Added to this videos were released where moulvis were threatening both faithfuls as well as nonbelievers.
Instead of discussingthese issues the author found it easy to place blame on Hindus. If an individual, a society, a religious group or a nation wants to come up first it has to commit itself and try to sort out short comings in its ethos and working.
If the author wants to increase participation in jobs, IAS and IPS first he has to find out what they have been taught in Madrasas.
I am a Christian and when I read this, I was surprised by the article.Extremely provocative. I am however more ashamed of all the people who have commented with so much hate. I wonder why there is so much hate inside you’ll. Is that what our religion teaches us or does the word Secular in our constitution mean.You guys should be ashamed of yourselves. You’ll give every justification to the author of such an article .India is for Indians and all have every right over this land.
Commented with hate? Show me which comments have said Muslims should be marginalized, beaten, killed etc?
The comments are only saying ‘dont blame Hindus, introspect’. This, to you, is Hate? And lecture us on secularism?
First you Christians stop insulting Christ by bribing people to convert. It’s like saying ‘God’s word is not good enough, we need to tempt people with money’.
Lot of comments I see was not based on hate. It’s honestly .All of them want is one India with tight integration and with one message leave the religion at hime. Actually dalits more marginalized than Muslims.. Christian conversation is most danger to the country. Converting people using money and false promises like buying votes.
Ha!! Ha!! You better see the practices of Islam or Christianity worldwide & read Indian History!! PUT The SICK Of “secularism” in India to the dustbin of history where it belongs!! Even this word is foreign to Hindus who are inherently secular!!
Even this word “secularism” was introduced in the dead of the night by congress/Indira Gandhi during EMERGENCY violating all constitutional principles & insulting the fathers of the Indian constitution!!
Muslims paint themselves as victims/oppressed although they are the biggest killers of Hindus & Non Muslims!! See Kashmir or west Bengal or Pakistan & Bangladesh killing of Hindus/Sikhs to see how democratic & human is Islam & Muslims!! The fact is that Islam has killed more human beings than even communism & Christianity!!
Christian civilization has impoverished the planet through colonization & destroyed the planet through climate change and yet not even compensated just as the CCP Communists haven’t for the Chinese Virus or Islam for terrorism!!
Don’t teach Sanatani Hindus lessons on secularism & humanity!!
Ha!! Ha!! Christians discriminate human beings on believers & non believers like all the desert cults and thus put the seeds of HATE!!
The pope & the Church was for decades protecting the pastors who had raped little children through out the world!! Was that Xhristian love for Children or humanity??!! Hypocrite!!
You sell your Christianity like vulgar prostitutes by bribing, cheating & converting poor Hindus!! And you talk of hate?? SHAME ON YOU & YOUR CULT!!
Christian west has killed millions of Muslims!! Where is Nazi America, NYT or WAP??!! Islam has killed hundreds of millions of Christians & Hindus too!! Where is Aljazeera & the leftist media in India & abroad??
Christian civilization has impoverished the planet through colonization & destroyed the planet through climate change and yet not even compensated just as the CCP Communists haven’t for the Chinese Virus or Islam for terrorism!!
The desert cults along with the communists/China are a danger to Hindus, it’s civilization & the nation!!
One question to author who is painting victimhood, why muslims do not follow rules, follow maulvis and fatwa, have faith in ulema than with other modern things normal indians follow? Why they send their children to madrasa, have 3 wives, many children and follow diktats in name of religion?
Sorry Mr. Ali, but I do not agree.
Triple Talaq was a bane for muslim women. CAA has nothing to do with Indian Muslim’s, Article 370 was a cancer in the body of the nation. NRC? It is required to create a databse of Indian Citizens.
So, how do they apply to the picture you are trying to paint?
Now, let’s look at the statistics you quote. Why are the numbers so bad for Muslims? Weren’t they the rulers of India for close to a 1000 years before the British came along? The country does not discriminate against children for education. So why are the numbers so bad for Muslims?
Is it because of Politics or Economics? Baring the Abdhulah’s, Owaisi’s and a few others, most Muslim’s are poor. So, how come Modi’s approach of giving them economic opportunities wrong? Those approaches are making the average Muslim richer and hence better able to participate in the economuc activity of the nation.
It is fashionable to point fingers at Modi and his politics, use statistics incorrectly, and rage in a pitch high enough to drown out all other voices. That is exactly what you are doing with this article.
Now, come to those morons, Hindus or otherwise, who are “banning” Muslim’s in the wake of the COVID19 and the Nizamuddin fiasco. Arrest them. Charge them. That sort of behaviour is unacceptable!!!
At the same time, give a loud shout out to the morons who are responsible for Nizamuddin to come out of hiding and help contain the threat that they now pose to our nation.
Ha!! Ha!! @Gautam Satpathy, you are highly ignorant!!
It’s impossible for a Muslim to live and commune with non-Islamic societies without an obligation to convert them to Islam by force or by deception. Islamic jihad has many faces. Jihad is not just slaughtering people for Islam; it is also a systematic suppression of truth and propagation of lies. If not, how can the moderate Muslims boldly assert (despite hard evidence to the contrary) that Islam is a peaceful religion?
The religion is in dire need of help and direction to escape the clutches of a few Mullahs who misinterpret their religious sayings. These Mullahs and the general poverty are used to scare them into existential crisis. The happenings over the last 25 years in the geopolitical arena only hardened their stand and others’s as well against Muslims. Abrahamic religions need a wider view instead either killing or converting non believers. Unless Muslims themselves discard their interpretations of their texts or be able to intellectually debate within and outside of their religion there is no remedy.
@Vijay subramanian – Unfortunately for Muslims, they are ruled by fear of Allah & fatwas so they are destined to be poor & extremist!! The rich or the educated Muslims are not really coming forward to help, but propagating like this author just has, the Evil agenda of Islamic domination, disguised as victim hood & oppression of Muslims!!
Meanwhile, Islam has contributed nothing to Humanity besides death & violence in the past 1400 years!! They even killed their own prophet’s family while Hindu kings tried to save them!!
Islam will remain the death cult it always has in the short to medium run!! Others must protect themselves & their civilizations against these zombies!!
People in other communities hate you, not because of your golden inheritance as you think or that you have a true religion that might be a potential threat to other communities. No this is not the case it is because of the potential threat they have because of your ignorance. Because of the ignorance which your religious clerics and rulers intentionally planted and flourishing in your communities since centuries.
The situation with you is very complicated. You are not able to recognize any connection between your ignorance and all the afflictions befalling on you. Diseases, Poverty, Killing, fighting with each other are the traits of your societies. Societies where there is no liberty no freedom, where no new ideas come, no inventions, where every item of technology that you use comes from the west and other communities. Majority of your people are in poverty. Eat dirty food, die like the flies, and attack each other. Since you fail to make the connection between ignorance and your miserable situation you are now entered in a vicious cycle of poverty and more ignorance, multiplying every moment.
Every Action has a ReAction
Hindus don’t compel Muslims to shout NO GOD WORTHY OF WORSHIP BUT/ONLY ALLA
Accommodating others is a Trait MUSLIMS Dont have and that leads to the LOW LEVEL HATRED Shown by MUSLIMS Towards HINDUS
Hindus are Just Trying to SAVE THEMSELVES & THIS CANNOT BE CALLED DISCRIMINATION UNLESS THE AUTHOR OF THIS ARTICLE IS IN CONNIVANCE WITH MUSALMANS TO HURT HINDUS BY LOWERING THEIR GUARD DOWN
Of course the author & his community along with congress/communists have been not just lowering the guard of Hindus but also actively degraded the splendid Hindu civilization & make many of them SICK-ular & Identity-less today!!
India must be declared a Hindu nation as other Islamic & Christians nations have done!! Period!! Else, these desert cults tamashas & more! will be lethal!!
WHY should Hindus accommodate?? What is there to accommodate??
Weren’t Hindu epic lands taken away by Muslims who voted for Pakistan & Islam but still stayed in India??!! Didn’t they chose thus to be Hindus too & NOT just Muslims?? or else, WHY did they kick Islam & Pakistan in the bum & now claim to be Islamic??!!
These desert cults have to learn ABC of Hindustan & humanity or go to China & get treated for mental disorders!!
If the whole Muslim population is placed under a restive “judgement” of mistrust, it is not the fault of the “other” but our own “private bomber” who believes that they are going to “paradise” if they blow up a cathedral or an opera house full of people. Nation dated 29/11/15
What about those that destroyed a Mosque? Were they not terrorists?
No they were not. They did wrong, but we’re not terrorists because they killed no one. One not-in-use mosque for 40,000 temples, but most Hindus still say it is wrong. Even Muslims are not callin those who destroyed the mosque as ‘terrorists’. Funny you should think so.
Lol!! Are you SICK-ular or brainwashed Muslim?!!
“Destroyed A Mosque”
Dont say i am going back in History where India had More Temples than Humans and Most Destroyed by a Ideology the TABLIQUES Propogate to this Day
And as for you a second rate converted Christian. You are Nothing and no need for you to debate this topic any further
Absolutely!!
The author & his community along with congress/communists have been not just lowering the guard of Hindus but also actively degrading the splendid Hindu civilization & make many of them SICK-ular & Identity-less today!!
India must be declared a Hindu nation as other Islamic & Christians nations have done!! Period!! Else, these desert cults tamashas & more! will be lethal for Hindustan & Hindu civilization!!
Editor, please do not publish this kind of rubbish article in future. This will simply downgrade your credibility.
The Muslim community, it was felt, was smarting over the fact that in two successive general elections, the BJP and Narendra Modi had coasted to outright victory without any Muslim support. PIONEER
Taslima HYPERLINK “http://zeenews.india.com/tags/taslima-nasreen.html” HYPERLINK “http://zeenema-nasreen.html”
Nasreen has questioned the double standards of writers protesting against ‘growing intolerance’ in India.
When asked about her views on secularism in India, Taslima Nasreen said most secular people are anti-Hindu.
“Most secular people are pro-Muslims and anti-Hindu. They protest against the acts of Hindu fundamentalists and defend the heinous acts of Muslim fundamentalists. Politicians appease Muslims for votes. This annoys many Hindus. In Canning, a Hindu village in West Bengal, was burnt down by Muslim fanatics in 2013. If Muslims were brutally persecuted in India, they would have left India for neighbouring Muslim countries like Hindu minorities have been leaving Bangladesh and Pakistan since Partition.,” she further added.
She is absolutely right!! And.. Taslima-nasreen is educated Muslim, well traveled & most importantly has wisdom unlike this author/his community & the Print running on Chinese/Paki money!!
The 4,800-word Maclean’s article argued that Muslims are prone to violence and pose a demographic, cultural and security threat to the West, including Canada.
“Of course, not all Muslims are terrorists — though enough are hot for jihad to provide an impressive support network of mosques from Vienna to Stockholm to Toronto to Seattle.
“Of course, not all Muslims support terrorists — though enough of them share their basic objectives (the wish to live under Islamic law in Europe and North America) to function wittingly or otherwise as the ‘good cop’ end of an Islamic good cop/bad cop routine.”
In a country when Muslims are a minority they demand more and more privileges and rights for minorities from the host country. When their number grows by birth or immigration, they want to impose the Sharia rule. When they become majority, they start bringing death and destruction to the host nation and start ethnic cleansing. This is the worst type of disloyalty and EVIL hypocrisy!!
Is not this the same what Muhammad did to the early Meccans? When he was weak, he uttered some verses which praised the pagan gods (the satanic verses) to make the Meccans happy. But when he became powerful his darker side began to emerge and the Qur’anic verses started losing their beauty. Once he conquered Mecca, he showed his true color to everyone – either convert or die by the sword!!
Though the concerned governments spend in billions to protect their citizens from Islamic jihadist, the policy-makers often fail to see that moderate Muslims are radicals too doing Jihad in civil society!!
They are making the same mistake what the early Meccans did. They realize the impact of radical Islam but fail to pay attention to moderate Islam. Little do they
understand that this so-called moderate Islam is much more dangerous than the radical Islam because it grows and silently kills the host!!
It’s impossible for a Muslim to live and commune with non-Islamic societies without an obligation to convert them to Islam by force or by deception. Islamic jihad has many faces. Jihad is not just slaughtering people for Islam; it is also a systematic suppression of truth and propagation of lies. If not, how can the moderate Muslims boldly assert (despite hard evidence to the contrary) that Islam is a peaceful religion?
First the author must answer why muslims lynched doctors & nurses in indore,Ghaziabad,did indecent act with nurses in hospitals,spitting on police?muslims must introspect rather than blaming others for their mistakes.
This article is spot on. Solely due to Hindus and PM Modi, Muslims in India are backward and discriminated upon for the last 70+ years. Even in the neighboring countries, the rise of Muslims is stymied solely by the 1-2% of Hindus who life luxuriously there. In the Middle East, despite the oil wealth, Muslims are unable to advance solely due to the RSS-US conspiracy. If only these groups would disappear, Shias and Sunnis can go back to their peaceful pursuits of bombing each other.
Well said!! Peaceful Islam!!
As long as Muslims prefer to send their children to madrassahs and not schools, their share of salaried govt jobs as well as private sector jobs will remain low. The fact that Christians and Sikhs enjoy an even better status than Hindus when it comes to salaried jobs indicates unequivocally that religious discrimination is minimum (though not absolutely non-existent) in our society. If Muslims do not take en masse to modern education and cling on to medieval era educational systems the state cannot help them.
Am really surprised that Mr. Ali did not accuse the Hindu Right of having invented/discovered the coronavirus and letting it loose on Indians in order to “marginalize” Indian Muslims.
Reputation of one’s community is in their own hands, when a lockdown got announced there were no special requests that had gone out to any particular community it is these communities who understood the situation and complied in letter and spirit. While I agree that Tablighi incident should not be blamed on the entire community but there are multiple videos where mosques have defied the appeal, doctors being attacked by the community and attacks on police officers at multiple incidents.
This has not been the case with any other community, reaction by one community is for self protection when Tablighi’s who are supposed to be quarantined for their own good are not behaving properly their leader refuses to take responsibility.
Have not seen any Muslim/ secular critcising their leader or these acts of violence.
Please note that this is a contagious virus and people would take measures to insulate themselves, its about life Sir.
Whom are you trying to teach??!! This is a virus which is inculcated since birth and makes you a Zombie good as dead for Jihad!!
Instead of having large no of children and living in poverty for generation the muslims has to concentrate on quality of life which can be achieved through small families. There will be discrimination irrespective of religion. That’s the nature of human race. The only possible way to marginalige discrimination is by lifting one self from poverty. Fyi my grandfather came from lower middle class family. Struggled to pay tution fee still he got it done and got himself a job. His employment is the reason why two other generations next to him could afford decent life.
Hopefully , all these events will remove religion from the planet earth and ensure supremacy of humanity over religious divide God created no religion. Religions were formed by humans 1000s of years ago, which are not valid today. There is no connection between God and Religion. Let us bring in uniform civil code, remove all religious records and become ordinary human beings.
Exactly
You could not have said it better. Religions made by men have become the main reason for hatred and strife throughout the world. Your correct uniform codes eliminating anything to do with religion is the only way we can become real human beings that treat each other with love and respect!
Agreed
Leave Islam is you care for uplifting yourself. Else do not complain. Muslims must be removed from India
“Muslims must be removed from India”
Wow ! And how exactly do you plan to do that ? Put them in concentration camps like the Nazis, the source of inspiration for the RSS ? Find some some of a final solution ?
@Kili Jolsiyar:
Muslims will eventually convert out of Islam when even the lowest of them realize what a bad deal Islam is.
Voila! Problem solved without firing a shot.
You should learn to think out of the box………..
Well said!! Muslims must leave Islam which ultimately turns them into good for nothing or good for death zombies!! They better leave Islam & lead human lives!! They will hence at last, help themselves, Hindustan & humanity!!
Sir,
Modiji is busy showing humanity to US and Brazil.
No humanity to ‘Other People,Katua in their definition ‘
Muslims are systematically marginalized. Very bad.
In long run hatred will always lead to hatred.
I pray good sense finally prevails amongst all right wing Hindus and Muslims (Like WAHABIS in terrorism and TABLIGIS in recent episode who disreputed entire community )
@Badshah 9 – Ha!! Ha!! LIAR as the 99.9% of the peaceful cult!!
Yeah, everything is against Muslims and Muslims are so innocent and not responsible for any Of the current problems and situations. Maybe the author should do some introspection as well instead of singularly blaming Hindus for Muslim’s plights. He didn’t even say anything about the role Jamaat played in spreading the virus in the country and spitting incidents.
First and foremost, this is India not Arabi. Those who carry names can never be Indians. Get this point in your mind. Why not follow Indian religion to live in India, why an Arabic religion? If you will follow Arabic religion you will always be looked at from suspicion
Well, Sikhs like you faced that problem in the 80s didn’t you ? Sikhs were mercilessly butchered by Hindu mobs in the wake of PM Gandhi’s assassination with their outward appearance making them easy to target. So don’t you think that your prescription for Muslims will boomerang on you finally ?
Correction
Congress butchered Sikhs not Hindu.
State facts not assumptions.
Ha!! Ha!! LIAR!! Those were NOT Hindu mobs BUT Mulla Congress Mobs which Killed Sikhs!!
It is shocking how a very communal write-up is allowed by The Print
@SHAILESH – I think any writing should be allowed!1 The problem arises when you just forward one thinking & bar others!! I would like Print & Media to publish the extreme & middle views from the other side so that balance is established!!
Putting things under the carpet (even if it’s lies & propaganda of this Muslim author) is NOT the solution!! We have to give Muslims more liberty than their Islam gives to their own societies and their women imprisoned in black cages!!
If this is true, who contributed to this phenomenon? Are Muslim community leaders not responsible for the illiteracy and economic backwardness of Muslims? Why insist education through Madarsas, where the sole objective is to teach religious ritualism.? How would then Muslim children learn science, mathematics and computers? This separatist mindset is the major factor resulting in economic backwardness of the Muslim community. Why it is necessary mix education with religion? Dr Ambedkar enjoined Dalits to pursue education, because it is the only means of securing economic welfare and social liberation. Why Muslims could produce only Jinnah and not Ambedkar? Muslims need introspection. Covid-19 pandemic is a tough time for all. Minds are stressed and there is natural tendency of self-preservation. To add to this the Tablighi Jamat incidence has provided a trigger to widen the communal rift. It is highly improper to divide the coronavirus infected into religious breakup. But my guess is that the Muslim share in this unfortunate victimhood would be quite high. So also the death rate, as Muslims are instinctively hiding their infection and are compelled to disclose it at a late stage. This is most unfortunate and reflects very poor standard of community leadership amongst Muslims.
I like your last sentence :
“This is most unfortunate and reflects very poor standard of community leadership amongst Muslims.”
It is true! In all fairness, we must accept that this line is ALSO TRUE FOR HINDU LEADERSHIP that Modi-Shah are providing since 2014. The first thing they did was to employ a paid army of venom-spewing trolls who are highly aggressive on all social media platforms.
BJP existed even in Vajpeyi-Advani time, but it never wore hatred for the Muslims on their sleeves. “Vinaash-kaale vipreet budhhi”. Modi-Shah will do well to remember this centuries-old Sanskrit adage. It has become immortal, BECAUSE IT HAS ALWAYS PROVED RIGHT.
Only 3% of Muslim children get their education in a madrasah. Get your facts right before farting around.
According to 2011 Census data, Muslims have the highest number of illiterates at nearly 43 per cent. Among the Muslims, just 2.76 per cent are educated till graduation level or above, only 0.44 per cent have technical/non-technical diploma, 4.44 per cent are educated till higher secondary level and 6.33 per cent till matric level. The highest number of literates in the Muslim community are at the primary level (16.08 per cent), followed by 14.32 per cent at below primary level and 9.73 per cent at middle school Now if the percentage quoted by you is factual, a large number of Muslims in India don’t get even primary level education either in Madarsas or in schools. This is the stark reality. Who is responsible? Please make self introspection and don’t pass the blame to others. This won’t do anything concrete.
According to the article “Role of Madarsa Education in Empowerment of Muslims in India Sana Asma and Tasneem Shazli, Research Scholar and Research Scholar Department of Geography, Aligarh Muslim University, published in IOSR Journal Of Humanities And Social Science (IOSR-JHSS) Volume 20, Issue 2, Ver. V (Feb. 2015): “A large population of Muslims in India are receiving education either from Madarsas or from Urdu medium schools. The Madarsas will need to be revitalized to meet the challenge of the modern world. Strong emphasis will need to be laid on quality of education and expanding the base of science, information and technology, because this is the need of our present era of competition. The contribution of these Madarsas has been so important that one cannot strategize the educational development of Muslim community by neglecting or overlooking their services to the community. These Madarsas form a parallel education system which completely blocks the roads of economic growth and prosperity of the Muslims who resort to it and consequently Muslims are most backward religious community in India. So there is an urgent need to modernize or improve Madarsa education systems in India to educate the Muslims at that level which help them to compete to the children belong to modern education system.. They add “We should learn from, the words of the Prophet (Mohammad Sallallahu Alaihe Wasallam): ‘‘Seek knowledge even, if it is to be found in a place as distant as, China. “
I admire your erudition, Pramod. But remember this: upliftment of the stupid, who are stubborn because of the ego of a low-IQed, is the real task and test of leadership. It will be foolish to believe that such tough nuts exist only among the Muslims and all other communities are brilliant and dynamic. If that were true then at least 80% of Indians should have been prosperous and well educated. To condemn such people cunningly, especially picking the Muslims out of them, and say that they should be thrown into the sea or concentration camps is not the civilized world’s way. Let no present leaders of India, charismatic or brutal or both, think that they will succeed in fulfilling such a macabre dream.
@SANJIV BHATLA – Can you give us the name of just one nation on the entire planet where Muslim minorities are not creating violence or other law & order issues??
Is France, a secular nation which defined secularism stupid to have brought in anti Islamic laws??
Is Denmark, the happiest & richest nation on the planet dumb to bring Anti Islamic laws & take out mosques??
Is China’s President Xi illiterate & stupid to say that Islam is a mental illness??!!
Smell the Islamic coffee & Ideology before you & your family are raped too as our daughters & mothers were in Kashmir!!
and ONLY 3% of Muslims are terrorists!! The rest are doing passive Jihad on the streets & society!!
Very well written!
Where as I agree with the opinion that there was not a single reformist muslim leader comparable to rajaram mohan roy, Mahathma Gandhi, Nehru, Ambedkar, it is not ok to paint muslims as anti-nationals for TJ. There were thousands of congregations at the same time as TJ and even parliament was in session. It was plain unfortunate that TJ became a super spreader like the christian congregation in SKorea(patient.31). The news channel anchors and some motor-mouths from some parties played out key role in stigmatising the TJ participants and were made to look like they were involved in anti-national activity. The atmosphere is so charged up and biased that even if a muslim breaks a traffic rule, he would be called out as anti-national. Basically before TJ came to light, there were some reports that people returning from abroad were taking paracetamol to dodge the thermal screening at airports and some even escaped quarantine/isolation facility. They were chided and criticized for that but were not called anti-nationals.
Very well said, Prashanth. India at this juncture needs fair thinking like yours to defeat the conspiracy of recklessly giving visas to large number of foreigners at a time like this, and then nudging the Hindutva loud mouths to target Muslims at large. I am ashamed to call Rajat Sharma a senior journalist. We must remember that even the INDIAN MUSLIMS HAVE BEEN INFECTED BY THE FOREIGNER MUSLIMS.
@SANJIV BHATLA – “the conspiracy of recklessly giving visas to large number of foreigners..”
Lol! and If no visa was given it was a conspiracy too to kill Islam in India??!!
Damn if I do & damn if I don’t??!!
Good!! You are doing what active & passive Jihadis do!! Double speak & conspiracy theories!!
@Prashanth Ram G – Well at least you can read what Dr. Ambedkar wrote on Islam & be warned!!
Else, din’t you not learn a thing of democratic Islam & peaceful Muslims, in Kashmir, west Bengal, Kerala.. Pakistan/Bangladesh where tens of millions of Hindus have been killed??!!
Did you not learn a thing when in Islamic rule, 30 crore + Hindus were killed by Islam & Jihadis??
For those who claim to be descendants of those Muslims & keep Arabic names ever even apologized for the mass genocide of Hindus?? WHY NOT?? What are they hiding or are proud of??!!
One wonders from which identity-less earth some people, especially some Hindus are made of!!
Do not know how responsible it is to allow ” Covid an excuse to push Indian Muslims out of informal sector jobs. Apartheid the next step” such headlines .
Whoever has allowed such venomous headline the is either stupid or bent on creating communal divide.
There will always be enough idiots to write stupid theories but the the few who have the authority to give space are expected to be more responsible.
Couldn’t agree more. I also think this results from an innate desire to “balance out” the extreme right bias from certain media houses, which is, frankly, a pathetic approach.
@VIJAY GALANDE – Well Print & the media is SICK-ular!! Don’t you know??
When 10 Hindus/Dalits die of lynching by Muslims, it’s NOT news for them!!
When 1 Muslim dies, it’s front page news!!
Print & the like present the SICK of Indian secularism!! As such, A Hindus Rashtra might be the best anti doe to all this tamasha!!
Print & the like or Muslims like this author hasn’t raised the issue of Hindu killings in India, Pakistan/Bangladesh in the millions!! They are NOT credible and frankly sponsors of Islamic terrorism!!
Wow! What an insight. Straight to the garbage bin! I wonder what kind of “research” these brainwashed people do. Research on sowing division? Now even migrant labor is being divided on religious lines? Shame on the author
when india was doling out favors and patronizing this muslim community, no one saw the positive side of the hindus. we have had enough of these thankless community. they have proved to be traitors. their loyalty is to their religion. india will progress and will do well without the muslims. i stopped buying from muslims shops and not employing them even for daily labor
India as a nation will never progress without Muslims. Come what may , your wish will never be fulfilled. If this kind of virulent and poisonous thinking continues To percolate amongst uncouth fanatics like you then be prepared for complete destruction of the society which is bound to happen very soon. Personally feeling this is the beginning of the end of the entire humanity mankind. Islam will never be destroyed , no matter how hard you non believers keep trying.
@SUHAIL POONAWALA – You & people like you are either ignorant or fools!! Pakistan was voted for and created by Muslims, NOT Hindus!! So WHY didn’t the lovers of Islam move to Pakistan for their love for Allah which they wanted & created??!!
What has been Islamic history in India?? How many millions of Hindus were killed?? Where was democracy or minority rights in Kashmir??!! WHY are Muslims creating hate, arson & riots & continue their dance of death in EVERY democratic nation on earth??
Indian Muslims have to become Hindustani or move to lands where they can practice their evil cult!!
Hindus & Hindustan have given enough!! Now let the Muslims learn some Hindustani & patriotism!!
I understand your problem buying from shops require money & many people like you are jobless & bankrupt but grocery kits you are receiving as help from people are also 99% muslims
Well in that case there is always Pakistan you can move too. The whole country has been created specifically for that purpose.
Nice reply
Absolutely right @A-Woke!! I wonder WHY they kicked Islam in the bum by not moving to Pakistan in 1947 which they wanted & created??!! They can rectify their mistake NOW!! GOI should even talk to Pakistan/Bangladesh to right the wrongs they did in 1947 by not taking their brothers to their Islamic lands created out of epic Hindu lands!!
Yes hindu lands which were mughals ruled for more then 800 years
